Description

This highly informative work digs into the intricate history of Sudanese politics. Lesch brings a welcome clarity to Sudan’s tangle of political, ethnic, and spiritual problems by concentrating at the country’s central quandary: the lack of its leaders to barter a not unusual definition of nationhood.” ―Foreign Affairs

… the primary right kind account of what took place… after independence.” ―Robert O. Collins

The Sudan is torn by ethnic and spiritual conflict, centered at the struggle over the definition of the Sudanese nation-state. Is the Sudan primarily Arab or African by culture and ethnicity? Must the political system privilege Islamic legal codes or accord equal citizenship to persons of all faiths? Ann Mosely Lesch provides a comprehensive or even-handed analysis of the unresolved struggle for a stable political system and a unified national identity.
